but we’ll take it. Rays win!
There were a few positives:
Niemann did work his way out of trouble a couple of times, although 3.2 innings is the opposite of stellar.
The bullpen actually did what they are paid to do. Shocker, I know.
Carlos Pena looked way better. He even hit a home run to the opposite field. Keep it up big guy.
Zobrist, Gross, and Aybar were raking.
Navi did something the Rays have not been great at. Situational Hitting. Hallelujah, thank you ‘lil Pudge. Now spread the word.
BJ had a nice hit and a stolen base. I’ll try not to focus on him striking out looking with runners on, or throwing home with no chance instead of preventing the other runner from getting into scoring position.
Longo still looks gimpy, but his last fly ball to right center was promising.
Definitley something to build on. Let’s hope Price can shut those Angels down tonight. Go Rays!!
